As the European Space Agency prepares to launch its Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer - also known as ‘Juice’ - we hear from UK scientists playing crucial roles in the mission.
The launch was due to happen this afternoon but has been postponed due to weather. Specific conditions are needed and there is just a one second window to get it right.
Dr Ben Dryer from the Open University and Dr Shivangi Sharan from Imperial College London, who are both part of the project, explain the specific conditions needed for its successful launch, the significance of the Juice mission itself and what it all means for the future of UK space efforts.
